Please could anyone offer a bit of advice.
Ive searched everything and as of yet cannot find tire pressure advice / recommendations- so here's hoping for some guidence —-
350 sv 1932 running new 20" x 3.0 tires back and front
Would anyone have a tyre pressure guide or advice or suggestion for tire pressure
Thanks

In an attempt to get a bit of guiding advice -
The new tyres have a max press of 33psi stated on sidewall (tyres are the same make for f/r ensign universal 300x20 tyres).
The fitted tyres (also 3.00 x 20) have a current press
front = 18psi
rear = 16 psi
I have rode it a little although very slowly
and cautiously - on good roads I didnt notice any adverse
wobbling sliding or worrying traits.....
So
How does 18psi front and 16 psi sound - anyone have any thoughts. Guessing the rear is a bit lower for the bumps - ride quality 👀 my only worry is it may be a little low at 16 psi although my offroad bikes run very low pressures so shouldn't be too low !!!!
Any thoughts Cheers 🍻

I would up it a little to 22 rear and 18 front.

Trying to collect all 1936 models. Still missing the B3.
